I've decided to restrict my cover design commissions to just 12 next year. £300 flat rate includes ebook and print cover, and whatever iterations might be needed (within reason) to find the design you want. Four are already taken, so if you are interested let me know asap. Examples of my work here:

I'm loving the fact that Jacob Tierney's every breath is an indictment against at least a dozen showrunners who have overseen fan-hating trainwrecks during the past decade. That's before you even talk about hundreds of movies made by people who hated their own source material.
